QUEBEC, May 13.-Today Mr.. O'Brien,
accompanied by a group OF the most
prominent Irishmen here. made tour
of the city. He visited the citadel and
the "Falls," picturesque spot ten
miles from here and at 5 p. M,
he took the steamer for Montreal.
The Toronto NatiOnaliStS having offered
a banquet, Mr.. O'Brien said he would
be glad to attend without prejudice to
the public meeting, which must take
place at all hazards, even if it had to be
held in the open square. The date for the
Kingston meeting continues undecided.
A man named Marshall, grand master of
the Grangemen there,is making threats,
should that municipality be invaded"
Mr.. O'Brien seems less concerned than
anybody else regarding such rumors.
He only laughs and says: 'Such non
sense" He will speak at London and
Ottawa also. The boat will arrive at
Montreal Saturday morning and he
will remain there until Monday,
when the journey to Toronto will
he begun. The members OF the Ma
tional league are wild at the reports
sent hither from Montreal of Mr..
O'Brien's reception there and allege
that the government officials tampered
with the dispatches. Mr.. O'Brien said
to an associated press reporter to-day:
never mot with such kindness as have
received since my arrival in the dominion.
Nobody so far as even looked angrily at me,
let alone act angrily, and if Lord Lansdowne
be arranging, or the OTangemen be arrang-
ing for any different condition of things,
they will come off second best Their cause
is bad enough already, but it would be worse
then.
TORONTO, Ont, May 13.-The follow
ing are the resolutions to be submitted
to the public meeting to be held in
Queens park tomorrow evening:

action of William o. 'Brien in visiting this city

feet confidence TO the parliament of the
united kingdom for wise and just settle

Mr.. O'Brien'S friends have not yet
succeeded in obtaining hall in which
to hold their meeting Tuesday evening,

to-day received from Montreal by Presi-
dent Mulligan, of the Toronto branch of
